However, it does have a connection to ALS more then how I discovered it:.....
The problems with your ALSS term are
1) It's not distinctive enough and is easily confused with ALSs (the plural of ALS). It might even be a typing error.
2) You are asking players are to 'unlearn' a term they may have struggled to understand and commit to memory and replace it with one that offers no great benefit, in fact rather the reverse because the source of the ALSS has to be identified separately.
Your notation for your latest example was
To avoid DP on R26C56 we have {2, 5} an ALSS of R2C56, now:
ALSS-XZ rule: (2=5) R2C56 - (5=2) R9C5 => R1C5 <>2; stteHowever this existing notation does the job more succinctly
(2)r2c56 =[(89)UR:r26c56]= (5)r2c5 - (5=2)r9c5 => r1c5 <> 2; stteYou may be unfamiliar with the =[Pattern]= notation but it shows the use of a derived inference from a pattern that would be difficult to express using other means – most commonly because the links wouldn't alternate properly.
The inference chains you'll build will be a mix of pattern subsets and simple bilocals and bivalues so, in most players eyes, can't be described as purely composed of subsets. The novelty of your technique is being alert to the possible interactions between subsets from adjacent patterns in the chain. Therefore the best name I can suggest is the 'Interacting Pattern Technique' or IPT.
If you go with that or something similar you can then prefix any chain with 'IPT:' and indicate the source patterns in-line using their familiar forms. But note, in your AIC example there is only one pattern as such!
I don't use nets/forcing chains so you should consider how well this approach would cater for them.
I assure you that I make all these points in a constructive way to help you get an appreciation of the custom and practices that have evolved here. New ideas such as this one of yours and the others you hint you have up your sleeve are always welcome but how well they will be adopted by the majority will depend how well they are presented and how easily they will fit in.
